How do sorting options for questions with items work?
Sorting options determine the order in which items appear to participants in certain question types. These options are available as:
- Order of options for multiple choice, dropdown menu, ranking, and star rating grid questions.
- Order of rows for constant sum questions.
- Order of cards for set of swipe cards questions.
- Order of rows and columns for matrix grid questions.
The available sorting options are:
- Fixed: Items appear in the exact order you set. All participants see the same order.
- Random: Items appear in a randomised order. Each participant may see a different sequence.
- Flip:
- Top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top: Reverses the vertical sequence.
- Left-to-right and right-to-left: Reverses the horizontal sequence.
- Alphabetical: Items appear in alphabetical order based on text content.
- Rotate: Items are presented starting from a random position while maintaining their relative order. For example, if your original order is
A-B-C-D
, participants might see items inA-B-C-D
,B-C-D-A
,C-D-A-B
, orD-A-B-C
order.
Please note:
- The None of the above option always appears last, and Other appears before None of the above or as the last option.
- Sorting options only affect how items are displayed to participants and do not impact analyses or data exports.
